[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Two weeks after a U.S. congressman and four others were shot during a baseball practice in a Washington suburb by a man with a history of lashing out at Republicans, a Florida politician decided he wasn’t taking any chances.So Sunday, after someone threatened his life on a Facebook page, state Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, R-Miami, informed police.
And on Monday, Northwest Miami-Dade resident Steve St. Felix, 34, was jugged
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
and charged with written threats with intent to do bodily injury. Police said St. Felix was "fed up" with the Republican Party -- and that he hadn’t taken his meds when he posted the threat. It’s unclear what condition the medications were treating.
The threat -- "I’ll kill your ass and you better not show up to the next REC meeting" -- was quickly removed from the Facebook page, police said. It appeared to refer to the Republican Executive Committee, the name of the local Miami-Dade County GOP.
